EDWARD I. HAWK, OF DIVIDE, COLORADO.

PENCIL-BOX.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed March 9, 1908.

Patented March 30, 1909.

Serial No. 419,990.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD I. HAWK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Divide, in the county of Teller, State of Colorado, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in PenciLBoxes; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in pencil boxes.

The object of my invention is to provide a pencil box adapted to be connected to a desk or table.

In the accompanying drawings I have shown inFigure 1 a front view of mypencilbox disclosing the same as opened. Fig. 2 is a sectional View on line 23 on Fig. 1 looking in the direction of the arrow a. Fig. 3 is a sectional view on line 2-3 looking in the direction of the arrow Y, and Fig. l shows a bottom view of the pencil box.

The aim of my invention is to provide a pencil box of that class used in connection with school desks and tables, the object being to provide a neat and conveniently arranged receptacle within which the pencils may be noiselessly held in that the receptacle is covered upon the inside with a fabric covering acting as a muffler, so that the box may be tilted in removing or replacing the pencils Without any noise by the pencils rolling within the receptacle.

Referring by number to the drawings 1 represents the bottom of my pencil holding receptacle, 2 the back, 3 the front and 6 the top, these being connected to the two similar ends 4 and 5. T he rear member 2 being longer than the front 3, the upper edges of the ends 5 are slanting as s iown in Fig. 3.

The pencil holding receptacle is secured to a suitable under part of a desk or table A as shown in Fig. 1, by means of a securing member. This securing member embodies a suitable plate 10 which has a portion 12 doubled upon itself .to provide a securing flange at each'end, said flanges being continued at right angles to form the end portions 13, these end portions finally being bent inward to form the terminal stop shoulders id as shown in Fig.

4. These stop shoulders 14 are not however, as wide as the flange proper. These ends 13 are perforated to receive the supporting pins 15 which extend into the end 4 of the receptacle to pivotally hold the same. The interior of this receptacle is covered by means of a suitable fabric 16 which acts as a muflier so that the pencils will not rattle when the receptacle is tilted in removing or replacing the pencils.

At one end, the securing plate 10 is provided with a slot 17 within which is adapted to hook the spring-ear 18 forming a latch or detent by means of which the receptacle is held to the supporting plate.

The box in its closed condition has its base 1 resting upon the stop shoulders 14 as disclosed in Fig. 3. In its open condition that is, when the receptacle is tilted downward the shoulders 14 act as a stop as does also the plate 10 so that this receptacle is properly held permitting the convenient removal or replacing of the pencil. This pencil box forms a neat and sightly adjunct to a school desk or table.

From this it will be seen that the receptacle embodies a bottom 1, a front 2, a stub back 8 and a stub top 6.

And having thus described my said invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by U. S. Letters Patent .is-

1. An article of the class described comprising a hanger including a plate having its end portions bent upon themselves and forming flanges, said end portions being then projected from the body of the plate and having inwardly directed lugs at their extremities, and a receptacle pivoted to said projected portions of the plate and movable upon its pivots to rest upon the lugs when in upright position, the said flanges having perforations to receive attaching means.

2. The combination with a hanger consisting of a plate having depending end portions provided. with inwardly directed lugs, of a receptacle pivoted to the depending portions and movable to rest upon the lugs when in upright position, said receptacle being movable forwardly off from the lugs and having a top member extending from its front side partway over the receptacle.

3. The combination with a hanger con sisting of a plate having depending end pormeans for holding the receptacle at times in tions provided with inwardly directed lugs, upright position.

10 ofareceptacle pivoted to the depending or- In testimony whereof, I afliX my signations and movable to rest upon the ug's ture, in presence of two witnesses.

when in upright position, said receptacle EDWARD I. HAW'K. being movable forwardly 01'1" from the lugs vVitnesses: and having a top member extending from its F. BALDWIN, front side partway over the receptacle, and W'. C. SAUNDERS.
